Who likes spicy foods?

[Subduction Zone]

I must admit to be addicted to heat. I probably have about ten bottles of hot sauce of various sorts at any one time. If it says "hot" in the grocery store I usually laugh. Though lately I tried some noodles that caught my attention. The first time I tried Buldak spicy chicken flavored noodles I had to drink some milk. I did not quite follow the directions and that appears to have concentrated the head. I drained off all of the water, though you are supposed to leave a quarter of a cup of water when cooking. They did not seem as hot the next few times around:

I can get those at my local Safeway. The image on the package is a chicken breathing fire. They have a product that is twice as spicy. I ordered that through Amazon. Now the chicken has a bomb

And just for fun I ordered some Daebak ramen made with Ghost Peppers!! I will keep you posted.

I like to spice my food up. As someone born without a sense of smell (I've read the sensation "taste" is largely due to smell) sometimes spice is the only thing that makes a meal pop. Never tried anything spicier beyond Ghost Pepper.

I love hot sauce. But I want to enjoy the burn and not so much regret it. This is probably pat to someone who devours Ghost Peppers, but my go-to is Cholula or Valentina. Both are great hot sauces for, well, anything.

While not very hot, the taco bell Diablo sauce is really good.

I don't go crazy, but a little heat is always good.

I remember at work a co-worker brought some hot peppers he grew in his backyard... I ate a whole one... I don't think they were that spicy but having a mask on made it like a 100x worse. The heat had nowhere to dissipate or at least no relief from breathing in air, and my throat was on fire.

Not sure if they already do it... but the hottest spice in the world while wearing a mask would be very interesting to watch. Lol.

I crunch down on jalepenos, habaneros, and chile pequins right off the plant. I've made mild burritos for my congregation, that the Mexicans said were too hot. You build a tolerance.

I think I'm addicted also. I like non-spicy foods just fine, but if I go about 3 or 4 days without something spicy, I start to crave the heat. If I ignore the craving it just intensifies until I get it.

Last spring I got lucky and had four wild chile pequin plants magically appear in my yard. I hope they come back this year.

I grew some ghost peppers last year. Been meaning to get around to make a sauce with them. The Indian curry Phall is generally made with them (or Carolina Reaper or something equally hot). There's an Indian restaurant not far from me and a few years back a few of us went out for dinner. And it was on tbe menu. Only the second time I'd seen it offered anywhere. The conversation with the waitress:

'And I'll have the phall'.
'Oh, that's very hot'.
'Yes, I'll have it, thanks'.
'But it's extremely hot'.
'Yeah, I know. Phall for me'.
'No, I mean it's very, very hot'.
'I'll. Have. The. Phall. Thanks'.

Ye gods, it was weapons grade. Blazingly spicy. And I couldn't finish it all. So doggy bag for what was left. And number one son, who was still living at home at the time, gets in late from a night out with his mates and pokes around in the fridge. 'Ooh, curry'. And warmed up what was left.

It was still there in the morning. He only had one mouthfull. But no milk left in the fridge.

I had the same problem. I've made carne guisada for after church, and toned the heat way down from the way I eat it, but it was still too hot for most folks. I toned it down more the next time, and still too hot. At which point I gave up and decided I would not bring carne guisada again. Making mild guisada is like asking someone to perform Beethoven's 5th symphony, but "just do it less passionately". Better not to do it at all.

I make salsa for my congregation. I make one bowl the way I like it. I make another bowl with no hots; and I mark the bowls. That way, members can blend from the two bowls to their liking. There is only one other member who likes it the way I like it.

My usual hot sauces are various habanero based ones. But this year I got some ghost pepper based hot sauce. The hole is a bit too small and it comes out rather reluctantly. On the other hand I had some ghost pepper salsa that was just bit hotter than I normally liked. So one's result may vary depending upon the manufacturer.

And a couple of Christmases ago my Costa Rican sister in law game me a bottle of hot sauce from Costa Rica. The number one ingredient was habanero peppers. They lied or it was a very water logged crop. I first tired a small drop and almost nothing. Bigger and bigger dabs until I realized while good tasting it was not habanero based.

I have a friend who likes spicy foods. So when I bought a prepackaged noodle bowl for him, I put in all the packets...unfortunately one of the packets was a silicon jel dry packet...more crunchy than spicy.

The ones that grow on my land are perennials. They get bigger every year. I've seen them grow as high as about seven feet or so.

I ate some silica gel once. It was in a little bag that said DO NOT EAT, but I thought that was just referring to the bag.

Don't worry you aren't the first and you won't be the last!

That means you're serious. I love hot sauce but it comes out like my ideas: well intended but regretful.

Lol, I read it wrong so my response is not fitting.
